Washington, DC – an INTA conference photo journal

Posted by ipelton on: May 11th, 2012

The INTA® annual meeting in Washington, DC ended earlier this week. More than 9,500 attendees were officially registered, and many others converged on Washington for all things trademark. The event for me was a tremendous success — meeting with colleagues from around the world, seeing old friends from the USPTO and the trademark community, and co-hosting a great party (“Meet the Bloggers”) with some of the most talented minds in trademark law and and trademark blogging.

During the conference and the events surrounding it in Washington, DC I found many interesting logos and trademarks – see the pictures below [click photos to enlarge].

For photos of the “Meet the Bloggers” see posts on TTABlog® here and here, as well as Likelihood of Confusion® here.

 

Last week I spoke at the 2012 ITECHLAW conference in Washington, DC.  My presentation covered recent developments in internet and intellectual property law in the United States related to:

  • CopyrightsITechLaw - International Technology Law Association
  • Trademarks
  • Social Media Accounts
  • Keywords
  • Legislation
See below for the slides from my presentation. 

This is a blog post about a printed newsletter that published a tweet of mine linking to a post on this blog.  Talk about cyclical and viral and social media!
